Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA)

What it is

A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is a detailed evaluation conducted by a BCBA to understand the what, when, and why about challenging behaviors, and what maintains those behaviors.

Why it matters

Knowing the function of a behavior allows therapists to design precise, individualized interventions instead of using one-size-fits-all solutions. 

How it helps the child

We identify triggers and motivations, then teach your child positive ways to communicate or cope — leading to fewer behavioral struggles and more success in daily life.
